Hey all, I wanted to congratulate our winners last night on our uBRS run. We had a small challenge on the General as the majority of our fears were resisted and Randy was telling me 11 of 11 fireballs were resisted. Our second take on him brought him to his knees. I also wanted an opportunity to reiterate the goals of our uBRS runs and looting rules as we have added many to our numbers and not everyone has read over the initial posting.
Goals
- uBRS run is not a zerg, it is not intended to be one. The intention of the uBRS runs are to provide a training ground for our new or upcoming 60s. This means our runs are a bit slower as at times, individual instruction is being whispered while other times, we are covering general strategies for an area.
- uBRS runs have one leader, the 2nd goal is to learn to follow instruction. Many of us veterans have learnt that on a MC/ZG run, Raider leader sets the pace and provides the instruction. My intention on most runs is to mix it up a bit to cause you to learn to listen and follow those instructions. This is in prep for much bigger raids. Case in point, my rule about boss looting is purely one of following instructions, I am not concerned over ninja's. I am concerned that you are following and listening to the instructions. Trust me when I say, if you do not follow instructions in a MC raid, you will not be invited again. Learn to listen on the easy stuff, it will come naturally in the 40 mans
Looting Rules
We do not use a ticketing system. I believe as Christians, we have opportunity to exercise generousity. Here are the general looting rules:
- Please do not loot any boss - period. If you are unsure who the boss is, then do not loot at all. Just wait, you are not going to miss out.
- Do not combat loot or loot when players are down. I believe it shows a general lack of patience and at times greed to do otherwise. I know sometimes accidents happen when you go to target, that is completely understandable, but repeated looting is no accident.
- Roll Greed on all Green BOEs (Bind on Equip), Need only if it is an upgrade for you. This includes recipes and patterns. All profession mats (star rubies, essences, etc) are open season. The exception is scales (which are blue boes). These will be passed and discussed after everyone passes. Blue BOEs and all BOPS (Bind on Pickup) are to be passed and then discussed. Class set pieces that drop will go to the guild bank (allanonmule) if no one of that class is present and can use it. We currently have several pieces available for the Warlock, Druid and Hunter (please run GuildAds to see the list).
If there are particular questions you have about a run you are on or suggestions, please let me know. It is my hope that uBRS will serve all of us well to prepare us for the eventual runs of ZG and AQ that I hope we will be running by summer.
